利未记所预表的基督
出埃及记四十章33至38节-利未记一章1至4节
33在帐幕和坛的四围立了院帷，把院子的门帘挂上。这样，摩西就完了工。
34当时，云彩遮盖会幕，耶和华的荣光就充满了帐幕。
35摩西不能进会幕；因为云彩停在其上，并且耶和华的荣光充满了帐幕。
36每逢云彩从帐幕收上去，以色列人就起程前往；
37云彩若不收上去，他们就不起程，直等到云彩收上去。
38日间，耶和华的云彩是在帐幕以上；夜间，云中有火，在以色列全家的眼前。在他们所行的路上都是这样。
1耶和华从会幕中呼叫摩西，对他说：
2你晓谕以色列人说：你们中间若有人献供物给耶和华，要从牛群羊群中献牲畜为供物。
3他的供物若以牛为燔祭，就要在会幕门口献一只没有残疾的公牛，可以在耶和华面前蒙悦纳。
4他要按手在燔祭牲的头上，燔祭便蒙悦纳，为他赎罪。
信息分享
利未记的确不是一本很容易读的书，但我们要记着，要寻找金矿，也不可能在地的表面找到，必须要付出时间和努力去挖掘。当我们深入钻研这卷书的时候，便可能得着一些从没想过的珍宝。
新约有超过60次提到利未记。它基本上是一部祭司手册。单是看它的书名「利未记」，就知道它的内容与作祭司的利未支派有关。
对于人应当如何在会幕以及日后的圣殿进行敬拜，神给予非常清晰的指示。当中包括如何献祭、祭司的工作，以及百姓的日常生活守则，都可以在利未记找到有关的指示，而且，一切指示都预示到未来的基督。一切都是出于神的启示，神把一切说得一清二楚，不会留下灰暗的部分让人胡乱猜测。
书的第一部分说明以色列人该如何进到神的面前；第二部分则指出百姓的行事为人，如何才能得蒙神的悦纳。
每次，当以色列人将一只无瑕疵的祭牲宰杀，奉献给神的时候，他便是承认自己有罪，知道自己只能够献上一只无罪的牲畜，让牠流出的血为自己赎罪，才能得着神的赦免。当然，我们现在知道，只有基督才是那无瑕无疵的羔羊；因着祂甘愿舍己，祂所流出的宝血才能洗净我们的罪。
而且，耶稣基督更是我们的大祭司。当我们知道，我们这位大祭司如今正在天上，在神的宝座前不住地为我们代求，我们便得着无比的安慰。
CHRIST IN LEVITICUS
Exodus 40:33-38 Leviticus 1: 1-4
33 And he raised up the court all around the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the screen of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
34 Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
35 And Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
36 Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would go onward in all their journeys.
37 But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day that it was taken up.
38 For the cloud of the Lord was above the tabernacle by day, and fire was over it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
1 Now the Lord called to Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of meeting, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When any one of you brings an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of the livestock—of the herd and of the flock.
3 ‘If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord.
4 Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.
Message
Leviticus may not be an easy book to study but remember gold is not always found on the surface of the earth. Very often it has to be mined by tremendous effort and cost. It could be that by digging deep into this book we may discover rich blessings we would otherwise miss.
Leviticus is referred to over 40 times in the New Testament. Primarily of course it was the handbook of the priest. The name 'Leviticus' means the things which had to do with the Levites, the priestly tribe.
God gave very clear instructions about the worship in the tabernacle and later, of course, the Temple. How were the offerings to be made? How were the priests to act? How were the people to live day by day? All these questions are answered in the book of Leviticus and every answer speaks of Christ. Nothing was left to man's imagination, it all came by revelation from God.
The first part of the book explains Israel's approach to God. The second part tells how the people of Israel were to live, having been accepted by God.
Every time an Israelite pushed forward an unblemished animal to be slain for his sin, he was recognizing the need for an innocent offering to be offered to God and the need for blood to be shed to take away his sin. Christ was the only perfect sacrifice. He put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Jesus Christ is also seen as the great High Priest. It is a tremendous encouragement to know that Jesus Christ is our High Priest now in heaven above. He constantly intercedes for us before the throne of God.
